DIY Liquid Dish Soap with Essential Oils

DIY liquid dish soap with essential oils contains castile soap, baking soda, washing soda, vegetable glycerin, and essential oils to make your dishes shine, naturally.

The castile soap cuts through grease, while baking and washing sodas soften water to boost cleaning efficiency. Vegetable glycerin makes this soap a smooth gel, while cornstarch thickens and ensures your glassware is streak-free.
